Special COllections

Lod Cook Alumni Center

Native Flora of Louisiana

Water Color Drawings by Margaret Stones

In 1976, to celebrate the American bicentennial and the fiftieth anniversary of LSU's Baton Rouge campus, the University commissioned Australian botanical illustrator Margaret Stones to produce six watercolor drawings of Louisiana's native flora. The drawings were so popular that LSU expanded the project to include 250 drawings, from which twelve were selected and reproduced as prints. Twelve of these prints are on display in the Center.

Louisiana Artists

The second floor of the Center, home to the offices of the LSU Alumni Association and the LSU Foundation, also serves as an art gallery, housing works - donated by ARCO - by such notable Louisiana artists as Robert Gordy, George Rodrigue, and Elemore Morgan, as well as prints by John James Audobon.

LSU Ring Collection

Over the years, the LSU Alumni Association had received about a dozen class and commemorative rings from alumni and friends, the oldest dating from 1906. In 2013, these rings became the core of a new collection, displayed in the lobby of the Lod Cook Alumni Center. The display serves as a lasting tribute to the ring owners and imparts the unique LSU experience with thousands of visitors each year.

OPEN BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. Please call ahead: 225-578-3829 or 225-578-3838 to make an appointment and we will be glad to accommodate you. Appointments will be made based on availability.

The impetus for the creation of the Museum, located next to the Lod Cook Alumni Center, was a donation to the LSU Alumni Asssociation by Jack and Priscilla Andonie of a personal collection of LSU sports memorabillia. Known as the Home of Champions, the Museum boasts an extensive collection celebrating LSU Athletics, including:

The football used in the LSU vs. University of Havanna game played on Christmas Day 1907 in Havanna, Cuba. The Tigers -- the first American football team to play on foreign soil -- won the game 56-0.

Basketball great Shaquille O'Neal's size 22 shoe.

Basketball legend Pistol Pete Maravich's sock.

The Olympic medals -- one silver and one gold -- won by 400 meter hurdler Slats Hardin.
